Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 4 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 tablespoons lemon juice
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
• 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 pieces bell peppers (red, yellow, or green), cubed
• 1 large red onion, cubed
• 8 pieces wooden or metal skewers

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the marinade. In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped parsley, thyme, rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

Step 2

Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes and add them to the marinade. Toss to coat the chicken thoroughly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to infuse.

Step 3

While the chicken marinates, prepare the vegetables. Cut the bell peppers and red onion into similar 1-inch cubes to ensure even cooking.

Step 4

If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 15 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.

Step 5

Remove the chicken from the refrigerator and thread it onto the skewers, alternating with the cubed bell peppers and red onion until each skewer is filled.

Step 6

Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Oil the grill grates lightly to prevent sticking.

Step 7

Place the chicken brochettes on the grill and cook for about 7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).

Step 8

Remove the brochettes from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.

Step 9

Serve the brochettes hot, garnished with extra chopped parsley if desired.
